On the heels of yesterday's post, I wanted to use this, the first post of 2015, to thank everyone for supporting the site.

Steven's Blog is truly a labor of love for me. It makes me zero money and has few RSS subscribers, yet my blog is an important part of my "brand" and online identity. Though the number of long-form posts here have dropped off as my freelancing career has continued to make big strides, I remain committed to posting here everyday --- not only for my readership, but also for myself. Writing and keeping the lights on here is therapeutic for me, and helps keep my writing skills, technically speaking, sharp. Put another way, while Steven's Blog will never reach Daring Fireball heights, it is nonetheless big and important in its own, unique way. And that's OK.
It's hard to believe the site will turn 5 at the end of February. I'm proud of what I've built here over that span, and I look forward to another terrific 5 years.
